I am biased since mine was born with it so the W25 hood is my opinion looks the best.

Post pics of yours if you get a chance. Being a true U code makes it very scarce and way cool brother.

Keep the "stealth" look with the steel hood; it is consistent with the rest of the car.

Great car! I'm very partial to big block '72 Supremes.

Louvered hood gets my vote. Some big block '72 Supremes had them anyway, and you won't be tempted to buy the rest of the pricey OAI setup to finish the job properly. Just keep the Cutlass trim. : )
